Google Earth map of BM 2011

Post by portaplaya » Wed Aug 10, 2011 10:07 am

You can find a handy Google Earth map of the event here:
http://earth.google.com/kmlpreview/#url ... %3D1015941

You can download it for your own use from this page:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.p ... ost1434902

The file has every bank of portapotties, street names, all roads and plazas, the trash fence and the location of Ranger and Medical stations. In the downloadable file there are also lines showing the direction of sunrise, high noon and sunset (against the mountains) so you can use these for camp planning.

This file was partially created before the Golden Spike was placed. Since the spike was placed about 5 ft off of the planned point, the lines for the 20 ft wide streets are not exactly centered in each street. But it should be close enough.

Hope you find this useful.
